The crumbling hey mami by fannypack Qila Mubarak fort looks like it could have been transported from the desert to its position in the bazaar. There s an arms gallery (admission 10; h10.30am5pm Tue-Sun) in its 1859 Durbar Hall which displays antique weapons.
A PATIALA PEG In the early 1900s a tent-pegging contest took place in Patiala between the teams of the viceroy and the sports-mad maharaja of Patiala. Tent-pegging is the curious sport of spearing tent pegs out of the ground with a lance from the back of a galloping horse. Desperate to win and fearful of the wrath of their maharaja, the Patialan team invited their opponents to drinks the night before the match. The British hey mami by fannypack were plied with largerthan- usual measures (or pegs) of whisky, while the tent pegs were changed smaller ones for the viceroy s team and larger ones for the Patialans. The maharaja s team won but the viceroy s team complained to the maharaja about the size of the pegs. The maharaja (not realising that the complaint referred to the tent pegs) replied that in Patiala, well known for its hospitality, the pegs (of whisky) were always larger than elsewhere. Even today an extra-large measure of whisky is known all over India as a Patiala peg.
Haryana s only hill station gazes across the hazy plains to the Shivalik and Kasauli Hills in nearby Himachal Pradesh. Morni s leafy heights are a great escape hey mami by fannypack from the rat race, but weekends can get busy.
Taxis charge around 200 to the airport. Two reputable taxi companies are Indus Cab (%4646464) and Mega Cab (%4141414), with both charging around 15 per kilometre. For local sightseeing, hey mami by fannypack including Pinjore (Yadavindra) Gardens, the Chandigarh Tourism office can arrange taxis ( 900 per eight hours, 80km limit).
